"This newest volume in the History of Medieval Canon Law series surveys the history
of Byzantine and Eastern canon law. Beginning in the Patristic Age, Susan Wessel outlines
the evolution of ecclesiastical law before the Council of Nicaea (325 A.D.). She covers
the earliest documents and councils in the Christian tradition, and concludes that
the councils replaced other sources of authority as bishops moved to a more democratic
model of church organization. Heinz Ohme then offers a detailed analysis of the Greek
councils and the writings of the Greek Fathers. He treats the sources of canonical
material of Byzantine canon law down to the Quinisext Council (Trullanum, 692). Spyros
Troianos presents a comprehensive survey of the Greek canonical collections and their
compilers from the fourth to the eleventh century. In extending his coverage to 1500,
Troianos provides bibliographical and biographical information about the most important
Byzantine canonists who remain virtually unknown in English language literature: John
Zonaras, Alexios Aristenos, and the Byzantine Gratian, Theodore Balsamon. With Hubert
Kaufhold's contribution, the book also explores the wide range and variety of law
in Eastern Christian communities, including Western Syrians (Jacobites), the Copts,
Ethiopians, Armenians, Georgians, Nestorians, and Maronites."
